Quote but above all the general theme which celebrates the achievements of man and how they are our hope for the future, which is of course a lie. THat place is huge. There are different theme parks and different rides in each park. A person who likes sports, in theory, could just go and spend days at the wide world of sports. Of course, in…[Read more]

mmmm. Kiwis.Wierd question:Nick, how do you pronounce “hassen.” In my mind, i”ve been pronouncing it: “Haw son” but I just realized it could be Hay son or Ha seen.How do you pronounce it?

“the Word BECAME flesh.” John 1:14Not part flesh and part God, not merely clothed with flesh, but became or now was flesh. Likewise the apostle Paul testifies that “God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law.” If he had been part God and part human it could not have been said that he had been “made lower than the angel…[Read more]

Quote John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. Hi faith first. First, looking at the first part of that verse,LUKE 23:8″When Herod saw Jesus…”1 COR 9:1″Have I not seen Jesus…”Moses once expressed the desire to see God. At Exodus 33:18-20, we read“‘Cause me…[Read more]

Quote Hi David,I don't think you understood what I meant. You believe that Yahshua preexisted his incarnation (as do I and most others, although we disagree about what kind of being He was and is). The unitarians (Sammo, AP, WIT, RR, Elidad and M42) affirm that his existence began at his natural conception. So consequently, according to WT…[Read more]

Jehovah is called a Father because he is the Creator. (Isaiah 64:8) Since Jesus was created by God, he is called God’s Son. For similar reasons, other spirit creatures and even the man Adam are called sons of God.—Job 1:6; Luke 3:38.

PROVERBS 8:22Many Bible commentators agree, that at Prov 8:22, the Son is referred to as wisdom personified. According to RS, NE, and JB, the one there speaking is said to be “created.”“Jehovah himself produced me as the beginning of his way, the earliest of his achievements of long ago….Before the mountains themselves had been settled down, ahe…[Read more]

OK, I've put all this down before, and I'm certain we have had this exact discussion before, but oh well:COLOSSIANS 1:15,16Col. 1:15, 16, RS: “He is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation; for in him all things were created, in heaven and on earth.” In what sense is Jesus Christ “the first-born of all creation”? (1) Trinita…[Read more]

Quote Hi David,You believe Yahshua preexisted his incarnation, why is it that you never seem to want to enter the preexistence debates. Especially considering the evidence attesting to the preexistence is substantive (overwhelmingly so!), right?Just curious.Hope you are well BTW.I tend to avoid the trinity discussions entirely as there are so many…[Read more]

Quote Wow David that quick lapse kingdom hall build was great! I have never seen that many number of people building a structure asside for an office building or skyscraper.

I was just looking back on some comments and found something that I wondered about before:Quote For now David, you have some other post to reply or comment on if you so wish to from t8, seeking truth, and Scott.Later on, so you are not bogged down with having to consume all your time on this site – we will discuss further at length the military -…[Read more]

MATTHEW 5:11““Happy are YOU when people reproach YOU and persecute YOU and lyingly say every sort of wicked thing against YOU for my sake.”This was certainly true of the early Christians. When the apostle Paul was detained in Rome, about 59-61 C.E., Jewish leaders there said of Christians: “Truly as regards this sect it is known to us that ev…[Read more]

Casey stated:“I have to be redundant so many times on this thread because what I say is never considered and by his own admission, he does not even read them but “glances” over them, but since you are new here I will just give you a heads up on how David and witnesses work.Even prior to his decision to no longer “converse” with me (an addendum to…[Read more]

1. So we know that the earth, Jehovah's creation, will not be made to totter and that it will keep standing to time indefinite.2. We also know that sometimes the word “earth” actually means people or mankind in the Bible.Examples:GENESIS 11:1“Now all the earth continued to be of one language and of one set of words.”1 CHRONICLES 16:31“Let the h…[Read more]

PSALM 104:5“He has founded the earth upon its established places; It will not be made to totter to time indefinite, or forever.”ECCLESIASTES 1:4“A generation is going, and a generation is coming; but the earth is standing even to time indefinite.”PSALM 78:69“And he began to build his sanctuary just like the heights, Like the earth that he has fo…[Read more]

HI Seekingtruth.I'm glad you're having a good time. Have you been to mission: space, and what is it like?Quote I do have a question, your always quoting “have no part of the world”, which I believe to mean not letting the world be the source for my desires and/or motivation, but from what i've understood from you to mean avoid anything with…[Read more]

2 PETER 3:5“For, according to their wish, this fact escapes their notice, that there were heavens from of old and an earth standing compactly out of water and in the midst of water by the word of God;”2 PETER 3:6“and by those the world of that time suffered destruction when it was deluged with water.”The world (and I believe in Genesis, it actu…[Read more]

Quote You asked”Doesn't “the sea” often represent wicked people in the Bible? “but Gen 1 says”Genesis 1:10And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.” Of course the actual sea that Jehovah created was good. There's nothing wrong with the sea itself.The wicked are not…[Read more]

In the book of Hebrews, the apostle Paul described such ones as “partakers of the heavenly calling.” And Jesus said that those of this group would sit on thrones in heaven with him. (Hebrews 3:1; Matthew 19:28; Luke 22:28-30; John 14:2, 3) The point is that others reign with Jesus as part of the new heavens. In verse 7, of 1 Peter 3, Peter men…[Read more]
